Ice Lake nodes unavailable

It seems that the Ice Lake nodes (with properties icx,plat8380,batch) are down and unavailable to run jobs.

When are they expected to become available again?

Hi,

 

Good day to you

 

We currently have only one Icelake node with plat 8380 configuration working, that is node s042-n005.

 

Before connecting to it you can first check its state using the following command:

 

pbsnodes | grep -B4 plat8380 | grep s042-n005 -A2

 

Now, if the 'state = free' and 'power_state = Running' you can connect to it in Interactive mode with the following command:

 

qsub -I -l nodes=s042-n005:ppn=2 -d .

 

Also, you can connect to it in Batch mode using the following command:

 

qsub -l nodes=s042-n005:ppn=2 <job file>

 

 

Please do let us know if you still face any issues.

 

If this resolves your issue, make sure to accept this as a solution. This would help others with similar issues. 

 

Thank You!

Hi,

 

There are still some Ice Lake nodes with status=down.

Furthermore, when a job is submitted with "-l nodes=1:plat8380:ppn=2" it gets queued but disappears from the qstat output quickly, without being launched.  No job output and error files are generated.

 

I hope this helps; please let me know if you need more details about the job.

P.S. More info if you find it useful:

When, instead of submitting a script, an interactive session is requested:

 

 

qsub -I -l nodes=1:plat8380:ppn=2

 

 

the job gets deleted from the queue quickly:

 

 

qsub: waiting for job 1918161.v-qsvr-1.aidevcloud to start
qsub: job 1918161.v-qsvr-1.aidevcloud apparently deleted

 

 

But if "icx" is requested instead of the property "plat8380",

 

 

qsub -I -l nodes=1:icx:ppn=2

 

 

the output is:

 

 

qsub: waiting for job 1918162.v-qsvr-1.aidevcloud to start
qsub: job 1918162.v-qsvr-1.aidevcloud ready

########################################################################
#      Date:           Wed 01 Jun 2022 03:46:21 PM PDT
#    Job ID:           1918162.v-qsvr-1.aidevcloud
#      User:           u153810
# Resources:           neednodes=1:icx:ppn=2,nodes=1:icx:ppn=2,walltime=06:00:00
########################################################################

 

 

and the control is not returned to the shell, i.e., there is no further response until something that is preventing the shell prompt to appear is killed by Ctrl+C.

After that, the shell on the node s002-n001 displays the prompt and my executables can be launched normally.

P.P.S. However, that particular node has Platinum 8358, not 8380 CPUs... will the latter also become available?
